Make your own hand sanitizer - Page 3

I don’t like hand sanitizer gels...too drying...I can almost feel my skin shrinking after using it. We had dispensers of it outside our cafeteria where I taught jr high. They had to take down the dispensers since the kids were pushing the dispenser, getting a puddle of it on their hands, then ingesting it. Knuckleheads!

I'd be willing to bet that was sold out with Lysol, bleach, wipes, etc...
we have enough Scotch to do the job

LOL! I did say to my husband that the 15 bottles of Absolut Vodka he was gifted with through the years may come in handy after all!

Coming from someone who has a housekeeper to clean her 2 bedroom condo, sends out her laundry, and orders meals I'm sure making hand sanitizer is not on her radar.

@RetRN ,

Many want or need similar help with ADLs.

I guess I'm just missing something, because I don't get your reply to a lighthearted post.

Maybe cheap vodka or gin?

I don't know the alcohol content, but better than nothing, 'in a pinch'.

Wondering about white vinegar, too. 'In a pinch'.

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

I will stick to soap and water and a good scrubbing.

I noticed in another conornavirus thread this evening several have mentioned not being able to find any hand sanitizer. I thought I would give this a bump.

I went shopping today and though my local CVS was out of hand sanitizer, they did have rubbing alcohol. Amazon has aloe vera gel.
